Need help with my WRT54GS Laptop not detecting the wireless

I have a cable modem conenected to my WR54GS running Satori V4 which is hard-wired to my PC. I had not needed the wireless transmitter so it had been disabled but I just brought in a new DELL laptop with an internal wirless card. I enabled the wireless transmitter in the Satori firmware. I tried setting the firmware to both AP and ADHOC and both MIXED and B-ONLY with wireless channel set to the original default channel 6. I also tried it with SSID on and off... but try as I mifgt the laptop will not detect the LinkSyss presence.
